[QUOTE="AXX°N N., post: 984, member: 99"] The aforementioned Dune and FWWM edits perform a service in that you can more or less see what could've been--there's also a Blue Velvet edit that does the same thing with its deleted scenes. I think I saw the edit mentioned in OP, and I watched it to prep quickly for S3 before it aired. And yeah, it just didn't cut the mustard. Despite whatever intentions the creator had in trimming material, what it was they thought would or could result, what actually resulted is a relentless string of procedural scenes in a show whose basic structure as a viewing experience is founded on variety. It becomes repetitious and loses a human element when all you see is the case going forward inch by inch by clue by investigation scene. I haven't seen any edits of S3 on principal--it would be like doing Ultimate Cuts of Tarkovsky's filmography where you time every pause between spoken words and amputate anytime it breaches 30 seconds. I feel like there's a kind of arrogance involved in applying fanedit culture to what's clearly an art piece, as if your interpretation of intentionality is so rock solid as to know what's essential or not. Maybe if someone wrote a grand unified theory of what S3 means and how the viewing dynamic and audience interface works in extreme detail, and then edited accordingly ... but no one has better access to that than the original creative team. What fanedits there are are clearly meant to compress the runtime to improve [I]ease of viewing[/I], in a series where discomfort and patience-testing seem like (at least some of) the point. [/QUOTE]
